whose story

Whose story? On our third meeting (15 May, Tuesday) we gave out two sheets with one image and some questions on each. These were the following: Imagine a character who lives in this house. What do you think his job is? Who does he live together with? What do you think his dreams are?

(Yachts at the port) Imagine a dialogue between two people who are at this place and write down some sentences of their conversation. Common work begun with such and similar small exercises. Although we did not mention the kids that the images are related to the soap opera, without being instructed, they tried to place the previously designed characters and episodes at the locations in the pictures. We did not as them not to discuss their answers with each other, so almost all of them wrote the same to the first picture, namely, that Ainoa lived in the house, and also their answers followed Ainoa’s description of her character. There were more differences at the port scene, they chose scenes from those that they previously planned to shoot in the port/ on the beach.

It was reflected in their teamwork, in the clear development of the story that they were used to working together as a group. In a few days they managed to develop a story, almost as well as a professional story liner team. Dominant members of the group were playing amazingly naturally and in the spirit of their roles. Esteisis showed her nature-born talent who is able to burst into tears immediately in the most dramatic moments, girls were very creative when forming the story and their character.
